2026 Fall Conference
Event Description:
Join chamber professionals from across Minnesota this September as MCCE gathers in Moorhead for three days of learning, networking, and firsthand experiences that showcase one of Minnesota's most dynamic regional economies.
The 2026 Fall Conference will blend practical chamber leadership discussions with unique opportunities to experience the people, industries, and partnerships driving growth in the Red River Valley.
Attendees will explore timely topics including leadership development, workforce alignment, advocacy strategies, board and staff development, revenue diversification, and emerging trends shaping the future of chambers. Interactive table discussions and peer-to-peer learning sessions will provide opportunities to exchange ideas and solutions with colleagues from communities of all sizes.
Beyond the meeting room, participants will enjoy experiences unique to the Moorhead region. Highlights include a behind-the-scenes tour of American Crystal Sugar, offering an inside look at one of Minnesota's most important agricultural industries and the economic impact it creates across the state. Attendees will also explore Moorhead's ongoing downtown redevelopment efforts and learn how community leaders are investing in placemaking, business growth, and long-term vitality.
The conference will also feature an evening at the renowned Big Iron Farm Show, where attendees can enjoy live entertainment and connect with fellow chamber professionals in a relaxed setting that celebrates the region's agricultural heritage.
Whether you are a new chamber executive or an experienced leader looking to strengthen your organization, the MCCE Fall Conference offers valuable insights, meaningful connections, and fresh ideas you can bring back to your community.
